Malwarebytes Anti-Malware -- The Original

So MBAM has been a favorite of mine now for years. I have it on multiple computers and have 'sold' others on the value of MBAM.

One of the great things about MBAM is the constant product development and improvement.

And the guys at MBAM have been very busy.

In addition to MBAM, there is now... MBAE, MBAR, MBAM Mobile, MBAM Backup, MBAM Business, MBAM Enterprise, MBAM Techbench, MBAM Chameleon, MBAM Earthworm...

But there is no apparent evidence of a beta for a new version of MBAM... no chatter about new developments of the main product.

Is the Flagship product getting pushed aside for all the 'new and exciting' stuff?

Has the MBAM staff started to take for granted what put them on the map?

Are the MBAM guys resting on their laurels -- happy with the way things are?

Have the MBAM guys gotten distracted -- as there are many beautiful women in both San Jose and especially in Estonia.

What's up with all that?

Hard to improve on perfection

 

maybe too much coffee breaks

 

so then it's true that it's better to stay away from products with lifetime licenses? (with the exception of tzuk's legendary sandboxie)

 

even sandboxie but it is not lifetime anymore

 

are you sure? i recently bought a lifetime license for a friend of mine.

EDIT: just checked it out, and sadly noticed that it's discontinued.
well, good for my firend that he got it before it got discontinued.

on the other hand, it just happens to show that sandboxie will never fall from grace, since it's not offered with a lifetime license anymore.

 

very true

 

Is the OP experiencing any issues that he thinks an update might fix? Or is he just wanting an update so he can say "it updated"?

 

i think, it's the latter.

 

Oh don't you guys worry, we've got something big coming

 

you made my day Bruce

 

Ah now that's great news. Thanks for calming us down Bruce. But now we're excited.

 

Now you got me/us all excited about this...thanks a lot lol

Seriously though, can't wait to see what you guys cooked up.

 

LOL..

DBag & imdb, it's the former. I'm looking for the update to solve issues. Issues like my wife not acting right. Oh, wait..

That's what I'm talk'in about.

 

what is it?the merge of an antivirus engine?

 

that's good news. good luck with the development.

 

Nice. Don't you have an SAS thread to spam?

 

Is there anyone here that does`nt use Malwarebtyes and Sandboxie(the real security essentials) in some shape or form?

 

Not using for about 2 months now. Have used the for years. Giving them a rest. Will add them back soon.

 

MBAM Pro is on all of my computers. When MBAM outperforms full AV/AMs in detection, and is used by AV/AMs in removal... it's hard to argue that there is not a potential benefit to the product.

I think there are still quite a few Sandboxie holdouts around here. I've almost used it several times. But decided against it..

 

same here

 

Your not alone as a holdout Frank.

 

Not true in MBAM's case. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Would you like them to start adding bells and whistles to it just to look busy?

 

Not going to happen, we have good ideas in the pipe, stuff that will improve protection and detection. The free version will be getting better but there are very solid pro only features on the way as well.

 

Great to hear. I have no doubts that if the current version needed an update to fix any issues, you guys would have done it long ago. Nothing worse than watching a great piece of software turn into something else, because the dev thinks that adding "stuff" will somehow make it better. avast! and all of their "shiny new tools" comes to mind. If I want a browser clean up tool, I will download one. If I want a software update tool, again, I will download one.

I really hope you guys just leave well enough alone, and let the other companies screw up their product with cool, new updates.
